The Lived Experience of Feeling Very Tired: A Study of Adolescent Girls

Steven L. Baumann, RN; PhD

Associate Professor, Hunter College of the City University of New York, New York

This Parse method phenomenological-hermeneutic study centered on the phenomenon of feeling very tired. It was part of a multisite study on feeling very tired using the human becoming theory and the Parse research method. The purpose of the study was to explore the meaning of feeling very tired as described by a group of high school girls. The finding, which is the structure of the lived experience of feeling very tired, surfaced from the dialogues: Feeling very tired is struggling with being attentively present as calming contentment emerges amid discomforting discordance. The conclusion of the study is that feeling very tired is a complex paradoxical rhythm.

Key Words: feeling tired • human becoming • Parse • Parse research method
